Did an EU leader just admit aliens exist?

Conspiracy theorists are going nuts after European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker seemed to suggest that EU leaders had been in contact with aliens.

During an impassioned speech about the impact Brexit will have on both the UK and other countries in Europe, Luxembourgish politician Jean Claude Juncker has suggested that the ripples of UK's vote will be felt well beyond not only England's borders but potentially our solar system.

In footage published by YouTube channel secureteam10 (your number one source for UFO news), Juncker – translated from French – seems to say that he and fellow leaders of the EU have not only spoken to people on other planets but these alleged aliens are worried about the future of the EU.

(Naaw, that's sweet of them.)

"You need to know that those who observe us from afar are worried," he states.

"I have seen, listened and heard many leaders of other planets and they are very worried because they wonder about the course the EU will follow."

Call Mulder. Call Scully. There's a case to crack.

But not really.

While conspiracy theorists, truthers, X-Files fans and your weird uncle who refuses to use mobile phones might see this slip-of-the-tongue as irrefutable proof of an Illuminati/alien conspiracy hidden at the highest level, the reality is it's just that – a slip of the tongue.

Without putting words into Juncker's mouth, it's likely that what he meant to say is something like "many leaders of our planet… ". Not as interesting as the possibility of FaceTiming some reptilian overlords on planet XYZ, but far more logical.

This isn't to say that there isn't other lifeforms in the universe. We have no idea. But the likelihood that Earth would be in contact with them is pretty low.
